Porcelain & Composite Veneers in Gymea

Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They can change the colour, shape, size and alignment of your smile. Some people want a bright "Hollywood" look. Others want a result nobody can spot. We design your veneers around what you want, not a template.

What to expect

Complimentary consultation. We talk about what you'd like to change, check your teeth and gums, and take photos.
Smile design. We plan the shape and shade with you. Where it helps, we may suggest a gum lift so the teeth look evenly proportioned.
Preparation. For porcelain, we gently prepare the teeth, take a scan or impression, and fit temporaries.
Fitting. About two weeks later, your veneers are bonded in place and checked for bite and comfort.

Unhappy with veneers you already have?

We often see patients whose earlier veneers look bulky, too white or artificial. We can replace them with veneers that look like your own teeth. See our Natural Veneers case study.

FAQs

Do veneers damage your teeth?

Porcelain veneers need a thin layer of enamel removed, so they are a permanent choice. Composite veneers often need little or no preparation. We'll explain the trade-offs for your teeth.

How much do veneers cost?

Cost depends on the number of teeth and the material. You'll get a written quote at your complimentary consultation.

Can I whiten my teeth after veneers?

Veneers don't change colour with whitening. If you want a whiter result, we usually whiten first, then match your veneers to the new shade.
